Galway Football thread

Replying To Galwayareback:  "I am tired of people saying that people are saying that Moycullen are the new Salthill bringing in lad to play with them. Is they live in the parish they are entitled to play with Moycullen. Moycullen are just lucky that 5-6 ex county players from other counties have moved in."

Replying To Eire89:  "You cant argue that their recruitment and transfer policy over the last few years leaves a sour taste why did all those players go there? The influx over the last few years has been crazy. They felt a GK was there big achilees heel so they go out ~& get a new one in."

Replying To GalwaysFinest:  "Looking at the stronger teams in intermediate level:
Oranmore - possibly a few lads that had u20 experience, havent seen much so cant comment
Caherlistrane - Richard McGrath an u20 but long way off senior at the minute
Spiddal - FO'L and LO'C the only ones at IC level at the minute. If Farthing keeps playing, who knows. Impressive in his first two games to be fair, but the step up is huge.
Menlough, Michaels, Brendans - Nobody at IC standard


Nobody in junior level is close at the minute. Headford look the best but no stand out player, just a well balanced team at that level.

In the senior championship:
Annaghdown - Olan Kelly is very impressive. Diarmuid Kilcommins looks to have really kicked on too, even though he's been around panels in the past.
Moycullen - Sean O'Connor looks a quality player. Fionn (already in with Galway) looks incredible when he plays with Moycullen. If Galway could utilise his skills he could be a real asset. That left peg on the loop could be a weapon.
Corofin - Ross Coen is quality
St James' - Always talk about Sam O'Neill. Very unlucky with injuries but he would definitely be an option if available."

Replying To GalwaysFinest:  "Its completely deserved.
Niall Walsh the only genuine case as far as I know.
Owen Gallagher lived in the city when he transferred.
Killian Gallagher lived in Oranmore.
Heard from a reliable source Johnny Moloney didnt live near Moycullen either.
Nevin O'Donnell was an organised transfer.
They will probably win Frank Fox this year but surely wont mean much to them.
I think Annaghdown will give them a scare this weekend. A huge win against MM could have Moycullen complacent. MM were foolish against a breeze too, I think Annaghdown will make it slow and keep themselves in the game and have the shooters to do damage with a breeze.
I think Annaghdowns workrate and high pressing could rattle Nevin too. Kickouts are a weakness.
Hoping for an upset."
